Real-Time Context Sensitive Auditing
Avatier has considered many
customer requests and improved the Event Viewer log
messages to be more descriptive and detailed. You will
know which Trusted Manager performed what action to whom
(or what) and when it was done. TEM is the first to offer
accountable delegated administration!
Simply right click on any
user, group, computer, or even a domain and quickly find
out who has done what to whom. All audit transactions are
categorized into Add, Delete, or Modify. Subcategories
are used to show specific actions on users, home
directories, mailboxes, and groups.
Back to Features
Dynamic Delegation with Wildcarding
Now TEM allows you to
delegate machine management by specifying wildcard strings
during delegation. For example, if you want Joe in
Accounting to stop and start services on all accounting
machines, simply use wildcards to specify any computer that
contains the Accounting key words such as:
Mimic Active Directory and Exchange 2000
TEM 5.0’s interface is exactly the same regardless the
environment, Active Directory or NT 4.0, being managed. Our Directory Shadow
Repository (DSR) allows TEM to display and maintain information
that is normally only found in Active Directory in NT 4.0. TEM 5.0 will
automatically transfer Exchange 5.5 data into the appropriate Active Directory
fields unifying Exchange and User administration.
Back to Features
Enterprise Management of Exchange
2000
TEM 5.0 now supports management of Exchange 2000
mailboxes for Active Directory user accounts. TEM 5.0 exposes user mailbox
properties stored in Active Directory makes them available for reporting and
management. Trusted Managers can select many mailboxes at once and make global
changes from a central console.
Back to Features
Active Directory Migration
User, group,
password, and computer migrations have never been easier. With TEM 5.0 simply
configure migration options and then use business rules to determine which
objects should be migrated using drag & drop to Active
Directory.
Back to Features
OU Support
Users, Groups,
and Computers can be added or moved to specific OUs based on Active Directory
permissions.
Active Directory Migration
User, group,
password, and computer migrations have never been easier. With TEM 5.0 simply
configure migration options and then use business rules to determine which

Back to Features
Improved Performance
TEM 5.0 still communicates to Active Directory for user
selection, but delegation is now stored in our SQL repository which has improved
Client performance while easing enterprise administration.
Back to Features
*ACCT*
Joe will automatically manage
any new machine that contains the ACCT key phrase in the
computer name. You can even force the Trusted Manager to
adhere to a computer naming convention when adding new
machines to the domain. In a Windows 2000 environment,
delegation for a complex tree is made simple by delegating
only once to allow Joe to manage all accounting machines
across multiple organization units (OUs) in Active
Directory.
Back to Features
Computer Delegation
Does
your organization have a desktop deployment team? You know
the team; they go around deploying new computers to users’
offices or cubes. Typically, they needed to have Domain
Admin permissions, so they could add and remove computers
from the NT Domain. Now you can easily delegate the ability
to add computers to the Domain while enforcing naming
conventions.
Additionally, TEM 4.0 now supports delegating the following
tasks: removing specific computers from the domain,
removing any computer from the domain, rebooting a specific
computer or any computer in the domain, and finally hiding a
computer from Network Neighborhood.
Back to Features
Service Delegation
Have you ever had
Lotus Notes or Backup administrator ask for Domain Admin
permissions so they can stop and start services on a
specific computer. Not anymore, now TEM 4.0 allows you to
delegate stopping or starting of services as well as
changing the service properties on a computer. Keep your
enterprise secure with TEM.
Back to Features
Share Delegation
It’s time to let your
office administrators manage departmental access to their
files and directories. With TEM 4.0, you can delegate the
share creation, deletion, and maintenance only to those that
need access to a computer.
Back to Features
Integrated File, Directory, & Share Reporting
Has a user ever
complained to you that they cannot access a particular file,
printer, or application? Well now you can find out why
without ever leaving your desk. By purchasing a license of
Small Wonders’ Enterprise Security ReporterTM ,
you can now get a list of a user or group’s effective or
explicit NTFS or Share permissions.
Back to Features
Enterprise-wide Password Policy Enforcement
Over 70% of security
breaches occur from within the company. To reduce these
security breaches from occurring, Avatier adds several
additional security policies to NT. Each time a password is
reset using the TEM Client, the user must adhere to a
password convention set by your organization. Optionally,
you can choose to exclude 300,000 English words, 3,000
common names, and any word from your custom dictionary in a
password. The custom dictionary even supports wildcards.
Back to Features
Retained OU Paths in Windows 2000
If you are managing a
mixed-mode NT and Windows 2000 environment, now you can
maintain user and group organizational units (OU) paths when
they are copied. With Auto-Naming enabled, TEM
automatically populates the Windows 2000 First, Last and
Full name properties.
Back to Features
Improved Multi-Select Features
Mass changes to
Exchange and Windows Terminal Services/Citrix MetaFrame
properties are now possible with TEM 4.0. Now you can
filter on an Exchange mailbox area codes and globally
highlight to replace with a new area code.
Back to Features
Improved Memory Management
The TEM 4.0 client does a
better job using and releasing memory as users and groups
are selected and deselected.
Back to Features
Tab-less Interface
Windows 2000’s
powerful new features come at the price of complexity.
With Advanced options enabled in MMC, attempting to manage a
user requires navigating a user property sheet that contains
three rows of tabs with at least four items in each row.
Add Exchange administration and the number of rows increases
even further. At this number of rows, it is extremely easy
for an Administrator to forget what was just
changed…especially without a reporting mechanism.
TEM 4.0 employs the world’s first tab-less interface to
managing NT user properties. Organizing user properties
into WTS and Exchange categories provides clear and concise
management, thereby reducing your training and Help Desk
costs.
Back to Features
Directory Shadow RepositoryTM (DSR)
The raw power behind Avatier’s industrial
strength enterprise management/reporting tool is SQL 2000.
Leveraging this technology, TEM 4.0 gives you the ability to
create on-the-fly reports to match your business needs. You
can sort, search, filter, print, and export any user, group,
domain, Exchange, and Windows Terminal Server/Citrix
MetaFrame property. Additionally, you can perform
management directly from your custom report. TEM 2000 and
future releases will extend this technology even further.
Anything else is just child’s play.
Back to Features
Integrated Enterprise Reporting and Management
Imagine being
able to print, export, sort and filter on all Windows NT,
Microsoft Exchange, Windows Terminal Services/Citrix
MetaFrame properties as well as all Last Logon Statistics
across multiple domains. We did all this in TEM 3.0.
Now TEM 3.1 and 4.0 does this
and more by combining real-time reporting with real-time
enterprise management. This allows you to quickly print a
report on all the accounts in Marketing that have Password
Never Expires enabled, and then two key strokes later
disable them while you are still viewing a customized
report.
Back to Features
Improved Exchange Support
In addition to
the standard create and delete support, TEM 3.1 now supports
copying all extended Exchange attributes when an NT/2000
user is duplicated. Auto Naming, Hide/Unhide Mailbox, and
Exchange quota support have all been added. Most notably
is complete integration with the DSR. Now you can sort,
search, filter, print and export any Exchange attribute.
Back to Features
Synchronized Global Group & Exchange Distribution List Management
Are you tired of
managing Windows NT/2000 Users, Groups, Exchange Accounts,
and Distribution Lists separately? If so, then you know how
easy it is for management to get out of control.
TEM 3.1 allows you to quickly
synchronize all Microsoft NT/2000 global group operations
with an existing Microsoft Exchange Distribution List. As
you drag and drop users with existing Exchange E-mail
accounts into this global group, they are automatically
added to the appropriate Distribution List. Other
operations that are synchronized include removing users from
a group, copying global groups, and copying users.
Additionally, you may delegate this task to specific users
or groups.
Back to Features
WTS/Citrix MetaFrame Enterprise Reporting
Too many Windows
Terminal Services/Citrix MetaFrame users? Can you quickly
run a report listing all of the users who have “Connect
Network Printer at Logon”? Not until now! TEM 3.1 can do
that as well as allow you to filter, export and print that
information for all of your Terminal Service users.
Back to Features
Exchange Limits Tab is Now Optional
When modifying Exchange properties of a user,
some customers wanted Trusted Managers to be able to
configure the Exchange Limits Tab while others did not.
Now, it is your choice.
Back to Features
Global Group Quota Added for Citrix MetaFrame Managers
Many Citrix
MetaFrame administrators use Windows NT/2000 global group
membership to publish shared applications to their users.
Using TEM’s Global Group Quota feature, now you can limit
group membership based on software license count and
delegate publishing applications to application specialist
freeing up more of your time.
Back to Features
Global Group and User Junction Management
Did you ever need to find out which accounts
belonged to the Marketing, Advertising, and Sales groups?
Or did you ever need to find out which groups John, Mary,
and Susan belong to? Now you can…simply highlight multiple
groups or users and you will see the users or groups that
are common between the selected objects.
Back to Features
Integrated TEM Admin & TEM Client
TEM 3.1 has
integrated TEM Admin group management and delegation into
the TEM Client. When logged in as an Administrator and you
are using TEM Client provides dual roles allowing you to
delegate and manage groups.
Back to Features
Improved Global Group Management
It looks and behaves
like Windows 2000, but it runs on both NT 4.0 and Windows
2000. As you come to expect from Avatier it has many additional
features like Type-ahead Select.
Back to Features
Type-Ahead Selecttm
Multi-Select Option
When Avatier introduced TEM
3.0, we introduced the world’s first Tri-pane interface that
did not require the customer to press OK or Cancel to make a
change. This has saved administrators countless hours. Now
another industry first, Avatier is the first software company to
pioneer the Type-Ahead Select interface.
Simply begin typing the first
few characters of the user’s account and press the space bar
to select the appropriate user. Continue this process until
all users have been selected. Now you are ready to move/copy
these users to another group, delete them, or make any mass
property changes. Finally, a management tool that mimics an
administrator’s daily tasks!
As you can see figure above only the selected users are
being dragged to a new group.
Back to Features
Revolutionary X-Agent Technology
Have you ever installed
virus scanning, UPS monitoring, computer health monitoring,
or inventory collection software agents on a machine? Did
the machine ever run the same again? Typically the answer
is NO; we at Avatier understand your resistance to installing
any agent on your infrastructure machines.
That is why Avatier has designed
X-Agents. These agents are installed on a local machine to
perform a precise function. They do not communicate across
the network, which enables them to have the smallest
footprint possible; typically under 75K. This also reduces
the chance for memory leaks or a run-away processor. Try
X-Agent technology today and you will demand this
reliability from all vendors.
Back to Features
Simplified and Streamlined Installation
For enterprise
software that manages NT/2000, Exchange, WTS, via a SQL
7.0/2000 database, installation and configuration are
getting easier with each new release. If you are using TEM
to manage Exchange, there is no need to setup an Exchange
Client and Profile on the TEM Service machine. Secondly, we
have reduced the number of dialogs needed to get TEM
installed during an Express Installation.
Back to Features
Advanced User Notification
Managing the enterprise
is not a problem with TEM 4. TEM 4 allows you to make
global changes to the enterprise and with Advanced User
Notification, you always know what you are changing and how
long the task takes to complete.
Back to Features
Exclude Users from Management (TEMExempt)
Now you can specify which
users or global groups of users to exclude from management
by making them members of the TEMExempt local group of the
account domain. These excluded users cannot be managed by
the TEM Client. Refer to the included TEMCLIEN.doc file for
details on how to enable this feature.
Back to Features
Last Logon / Logoff Support
With TEM’s X-Agent
technology, you are a mouse click away from determining
which users logged in yesterday or last year. Now TEM 3.1
is able to take on the cumbersome task of collecting each
user’s logon statistics from each domain controller and
comparing them to determine the last logon time.
Back to Features
Microsoft Explorer Tri-Pane “look & feel” Interface
The first most notable change
from TEM 2.x to TEM 3.1 is its newly redesigned interface.
TEM 3.1 Microsoft’s File and Internet Explorer 5.0 “look and
feel” provides users with a familiar and comfortable
environment for managing the enterprise. Our new interface
helps you leverage all of the Microsoft product training
that your user base has accumulated, which means less
questions and headaches for you! After selling TEM on the
market for 5 years, Avatier understands that the true cost of
any application is the time it takes to deploy and make
users effective with their tools. Behind this greatly
enhanced GUI, TEM 3.1 delivers a robust framework necessary
for adding new managed objects and expanded functionality.
Back to Features
Drag & Drop / Cut, Copy & Paste Support
One of the wishes that Network Administrators want most, is
to manage their network environment the same way they manage
their file system: by dragging & dropping and cutting &
pasting. Now you can! TEM 3.1 is one of the first
products on the market that will allow you to drag & drop
users from group to group, which will dramatically decrease
the amount of time it takes to accomplish such a simple
task!
Back to Features
Active Right-click Properties
Just like drag & drop, Network Administrators
have become habitual “right-clickers” to accomplish the most
common tasks. With TEM 3.1’s Active Right-click properties,
it does not matter whether you are managing Domains, Users
or Groups, simply right-click and see the permissions you
have over that object. Make one more click, and the job is
accomplished.
Back to Features
Bulk Loading Facility
How long does it take
your company to create an NT account, build a home directory
and home share, assign them permissions, create an Exchange
account, and Windows Terminal Server account while enforcing
user and mailbox naming conventions? Using TEM 3.1 the
entire process is under 20 seconds.
Back to Features
WTS & Citrix MetaFrame Support
Now as users are created or copied, TEM 3.1 can prompt the
Trusted Manager to automatically create the Windows Terminal
Server (WTS) settings for the user. Additionally, the
Terminal Server Home Directory is tied to Avatier’s Home
Directory Management feature. As users are being managed,
TEM will automatically rename, delete, and create Terminal
Server home directories and shares.
Back to Features
Express Install / Upgrade
The fastest way to begin saving your corporation time,
money, and stress is with the new TEM 3.1 Express Install.
This install is one of the cleanest and slickest
client-server installs on the market today! It will get
Trusted Enterprise Manager up and running in a few blinks of
an eye (or cursor, if you prefer).
Back to Features
Enforces Naming Conventions
Now it is possible to the get same naming convention support
found in Microsoft Exchange applied to management of your
user accounts. TEM 3.1 User and Exchange Auto Naming
features not only enforce naming standards but also
automatically sequentially increment duplicate accounts.
Back to Features
Active Command Line Interface (TEMNet)
For those of you who need the power of a command-line
interface to TEM's functions, Avatier is happy to introduce
TEMNet! However, Avatier's TEMNet interface is unlike any other
command interface on the market; because it is based solely
on Microsoft's NET USER and NET GROUP commands included with
NT server. By closely adhering to Microsoft's standard
interface, customers can deploy TEM with only slight
modifications to existing batch files! With TEMNet, you
will see an immediate return on investment, because using
TEMNet avoids costly conversion projects that proprietary
scripting languages present and its familiarity saves on
training costs.
Back to Features
Active Views
Once again, Avatier is leading the way pioneering new features
like the Active Views. Avatier’s Active Views allow you to
dynamically view and manage your environment the way it
works best for you! Headaches will magically disappear when
you are allowed to view your entire managed enterprise by
Domains, Groups, or Users across multiple domains.
Back to Features
Enhanced Quick Password Reset (QPR)
Now with a touch of a button, you can quickly change a
user’s password to their user ID, a corporate defined
password, or a randomly generated password.
Back to Features
Improved Logging and Log Management
Now finding out who did what to whom could never be
easier.
Back to Features
Console
Lock
Did you forget to logoff or lock your computer before you
decided to help a co-worker? No problem with Trusted
Enterprise Manager 3.1. Now you can walk away with
confidence knowing that TEM 3.1 will lock down the console
to prevent unauthorized administration access.
Back to Features
Permission: Copy Group with Full Control
Until now, setting up autonomous management
of NT groups of users was nearly impossible. In TEM 2.04
and above, you can grant the Copy Group with Full Control (Cf)
permission to a Trusted Manager. This allows that Trusted
Manager to have full control over copied groups or "child
groups"; thus allowing centralized management of parent
groups will full-delegated control over child groups.
Back to Features
Permission: User Defined Comment (Uc)
Until now, Microsoft has only made this User
property available via a command-line interface. With TEM
3.1, you can keep confidential user information along with
the standard user properties Microsoft makes available.
However, the ability to view the User Comment field fully
delegatable and completely secure because unlike other
products Avatier encrypts this field so your network users
cannot view it using the Microsoft NET USER commands.
